In the winter, I’m all about chunky turtleneck sweaters. Boxy and slightly oversized, I love wearing them with everything from fitted ankle-pants and chelsea boots to mini skirts and even over maxi dresses. It’s an easy layering piece that can go from work to weekend and guarantees you’ll be warm and cozy. What more could you ask for, really? Here my favorite outfit ideas for how to wear a turtleneck sweater.

How To Wear a Dress Over Pants (Without Looking Like an Idiot)
July 14, 2018Wearing a dress over pants is one of those things fashion girls do that I used to feel like I could never pull off. But it’s actually pretty practical — it looks chic, keeps your legs warmer than tights (minus the risk of runs), gives dresses that cool tomboy contrast, and extends your wardrobe by essentially turning a dress into a top or jacket. I find a picture is worth a thousand words, so I just like to copy these cool examples of how to wear a dress over pants.

25 “Grown-Up” Ways To Wear A Denim Jacket
July 1, 2018It’s the classic summer topper, but a denim jacket always makes me feel so middle school every time I wear one. Which is why I always end up tossing my jean jacket on the floor along with the hundred outfits I’ve just tried on. But what always draws me to my trust old denim jacket is the fact that I know it’ll go with whatever I’m wearing, and adds a laid-back cool factor to balance out my go-to work dresses and skirts. But I’m starting to get inspired to get over my denim jacket hang-ups after seeing so many street stylers and celebs own the look lately. Deep thoughts right now, people. But maybe it’s still middle school and maybe that’s a good thing now? Kind of like normcore, but now it’s what’s childish is now chic. Or maybe the jean jacket loses its tweeny-bopper vibes when worn by a “grown up”. Or perhaps it’s just all about how you style a denim jacket that makes all the difference (probably). Seeing how these bloggers and street stylers style their denim jackets makes me want to break mine out again right now.

Yes, you can wear culottes and look cool. The trick to wearing culottes is to pick the right top; then treat them like any old pair of pants. You want a fitted shirt that’s cropped or that you can tuck in to balance out the wider silhouette of the pants. Here are my favorite ideas for how to wear culottes.

The athletic trend has taken sports jerseys from the field to the streets, and now what used to be the biggest fashion turnoff a dude could rock is the coolest fashion trend a girl can wear. Personally, I still would save this trend for Super Bowl Sunday or watching your favorite sports team play, but if you’re feeling the athleisure trend or want to show your team pride on the reg, get inspired by these sports jersey outfits.

How To Style Over The Knee Boots
January 14, 2018Basically a wardrobe staple at this point, over-the-knee boots are the easiest way to upgrade your fall/winter wardrobe. Over the knee boots feel more fashion-forward and slightly sexier than a classic knee-high boot, and look dressier when worn over jeans or skinnies for a night out. Here are some of my favorite ideas for how to style over the knee boots — plus, my favorite over the knee boots for every price point.

How To Wear a Fur Coat (Without Looking Over The Top)
January 2, 2018I remember being embarrassed when my mom picked me up from school in her long fur coat. It seemed so over the top, especially for her (at the time) vegetarian daughter. But (faux or real — your call) fur coats are everywhere this winter, and an easy way to look super chic when it’s brutally cold. Rich navies, bright magentas, Easter egg blues, and icy greys update the look, but classic blacks and browns bring a luxe elegance that will be stylish for years. It’s the cut that’s key. Case in point: My mom’s ’80s fur would feel completely 20198 if shortened a bit. Bomber styles are super modern and perf for a night out or for keeping a black tie gown from feeling stuffy, or go with a longer mid-thigh length version for added warmth and weekend to work versatility. Here are more ideas for how to wear a fur coat.
